I have an USB Port on my computer but it does not display in my device manager. I am using Win 95. How could I get USB to display in my device manager so I could access it?

Hi try this go to control panel add new Hardware go through the steps to find new hardware when it does find it your ok but if it does not then click let me look at list and choose usb devices. Good luck win95 is not the best for usb.

Two tings you'll want to look for...

1. Which version of 95 are you running. Only version that'll work with a USB device is OSR 2.1 and above.

2. Check you bios and see if it's enabled. A lot of boards have this disabled bydefault.

3. Is the device showing up as a Other device. If it is you'll need to get the usbsupplemnt file from MS

Good luck to you

check in the bios if the usb is enabled and have and irq assigned...then go to microsoft homepage and search for a file called
usbsupp.exe...run this file and reboot.

Having a similar problem. Try this: make sure USB is BIOS-enabled, assign it a IRQ if necessary, from WIN95 CD install the app USB...exe (don't have full name on me). This should help.
